20991	wp.getPosts doesn't always check cap	maxcutler	nacin	"The cap check against 'edit_posts' in the XML-RPC wp.getPosts method does not fire immediately when querying against the 'post' post type. For other post types ('page', 'attachment', or CPTs), the cap check will fire early and short-circuit the method execution with an error.

The cap is checked properly before outputting each post, so at worst a non-capable user will get an empty array as output. However, by that point the query will have run."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	3.4.1	XML-RPC	3.4	normal	fixed	has-patch commit
